i can’t beat this but in my desperation to see this movie “in IMAX” as a newly-graduated young adult with very little money, i saw it on the “IMAX” screen at the Cradle of Aviation Museum in Long Island - aka a domed theater that messed up my neck so hard by the end of the movie

Uber went from "we blew our AI budget" to "we need usage caps" in about six weeks. If that's happening at a company that size, what does Anthropic's S1 risk section look like? 🤔 We explore that and more in the latest episode of Equity: spr.ly/6006B8tXlY

A lot of people certainly seem relieved—liberated, even—to no longer have to pretend to care about violence against women.

The DJ-ing CEO of Goldman Sachs, who is leading SpaceX's IPO, asked Jeffrey Epstein's pretty good friend Kathy Ruemmler to stay at Goldman despite her resignation earlier this year as her ties to the sex trafficker were exposed www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Google will pay SpaceX $920 million per month "for access to “approximately 110,000 NVIDIA GPUs, CPUs, memory, and other related components.” @okane.fyi reports. That's $11 billion per year. On top of paying Apple $20 billion/yr to be the search engine for Safari. techcrunch.com/2026/06/05/g...

NEW: A former cybersecurity executive turned whistleblower accused IBM of getting breached three times and trying to cover up the hacks. IBM was “routinely hacked by foreign state actors and others,” and data was frequently stolen and government agencies were “never notified,” he said in a lawsuit.

let me get this straight

The SpaceX valuation is built overwhelmingly on Grok leading in a multi-trillion dollar AI TAM. But the last minute deals before the IPO prices are to just rent out compute capacity Grok can't use on a 'multi-year', but really rolling 90-day basis.

all because xAI/grok sucked so hard the company had a bunch of unused compute!

The ISS is a true millennial icon because all her systems are slowly starting to break down but there’s no way we can afford to replace her so we are just desperately trying to keep her going as long as possible

Love this idea

in Yankees-speak this means see you in 2027

Let’s not mince words here. Facebook has a history of lying to and misleading the press and the public. Everything the company’s representatives say should be viewed through this lens. I don’t think you can make a case the company has done enough to earn back this base level trust.

Apparently it’s more dishonest to write about facial-recognition code embedded in software distributed to tens of millions of people than it is to embed it there in the first place.

just thought about this again

SpaceX is going public! Despite the name, it’s now more of an AI company than a rocket company. @okane.fyi joins @parismarx.com to dig into the SpaceX IPO, the wild valuation it’s going for, and how it destroys corporate governance to empower Elon Musk. Full ep: techwontsave.us/episode/331_...

oh hey check it out i went on @techwontsave.us to talk to @parismarx.com about everyone's favorite person in the world and how he's bulldozing corporate governance (elon, not paris) www.techwontsave.us/episode/331_...

SpaceX’s IPO is taking a hacksaw to corporate governance rules to ensure Elon Musk isn’t just the TechnoKing, but an Emperor free from almost an accountability. It was great to get @okane.fyi’s insight on all it, including not just what it means for SpaceX, but the terrible precedent it sets.

Robot time! Late last year there was a ton of excitement about 1X's NEO robot. 1X was taking deposits for people to buy the humanoid robot to work in their homes. As of today, however, 1X has not deployed any robots in the homes of the people who ordered them. www.wsj.com/video/series...

NEW: A stunning new project from @lawfaremedia.org's @katherinepomps.bsky.social finds that 97 Jan. 6ers who received clemency for their role in the Capitol riot then got arrested, charged, and/or convicted with subsequent crimes—a number much higher than previously reported.

SpaceX's latest amended S-1 filing finally gives us an idea of the floor for Musk's voting power post-IPO. He will basically have no less than 82% voting control once the company goes public.

New on @indicator.media: We have long known that some "face swapping" apps market themselves as deepfake nude generators. At least one of these was used in a recent case in a US high school. But new research shows the majority of these tools do not have any guardrails against nonconsensual abuse.

Late to reading Gideon Lewis-Kraus' piece about the Musk/Altman trial but my god can he describe a person Re Altman: "He looked like a lesser vocalist for ’N Sync on a reunion tour. His presence in the courtroom had the mournful air of someone who no longer qualified as precocious."

this is in large part because google turned Search into such a shitty, god-awful experience that it had to pay reddit to feature answers much higher up in Search results after people were relentlessly appending the word "reddit" to their searches to find answers
